Hi! I installed a second Skyrim so that i wouldnt loose my heavily modded old game with a level 72 character. I switched the install folder location under the NMM settings to the new Skyrim. It didnt work out, so i switched back. Now, NMM's Plugin rider shows me all my old installed mods as activated (checked), however they aren't set as installed (checked) under the Mods rider. I'm guessing that some log file got changed or lost. any idea how i can get the old settings back?

so in other words my game is more or less healthy, just the save files are too big. pitty... a well, i guess i should have played a character per class instead of one uber warrior/mage/thief/kills everything dude ;) btw, i've got quite a few pimped out mod-followers, do they impact much?

HI! I was wondering, is there some tool to declutter savegames? I've got a level 71 character and over 130 mods, my saves are 15 MB large. My problem: whenever I save during a battle and quit the game, reloading that save gives me a freeze (black screen) once the loadscreen is done. However I CAN load slightly older saves from the same battle (from experience i save A LOT during these battles, especially when fighting multiple dragons (Deadly Dragons). I guess there is just too much going on during my save, so maybe DECLUTTERING them would help. also FYI, my load order:

@ELITE you seem to know your way around Optimizer Textures, mind if I pick ur brain: 1) would you recommend the BSA optimization option? 2) have you ever used the Maximum settings?

could a bashed patch / levelled list cause CTDs? I got my problems after merging a bashed patch via wrye bash, specifically levelled lists... i get a freeze at the end of the loading screen on my last three saves. in fact, it feels as if loading a save actually corrupts it! wxPython gave me an error message: I disabled ValsCrafting, redownloaded it, didnt make a difference.

oooh, ASIS, i'm gonna try that on my next playthru! But that time I'm going to leave out LOTS of mods. And to all those brilliant minds out there that create mods and tools and such PLEASE create some kind of debug program! (fat chance anybody will read my request ;))

welcome to the club, i'm easily 110+ and crashing constantly. ever since i installed the 1.6 patch i cant enter certain buildings. i activate a door and BANG! CTD. sometimes i crash while fast-traveling. is there some sort of logging tool that records what skyrim does? EDIT: @Arkath: CLARALUX really messed with my game, had to uninstall it. EDIT#2: OMG it was the !"§$!§"$ ASTERIA !!!!! dammit, how does that compute, why does it stop me from entering Vrindrel Hall? A well, hope that was the only CTD cause.

Ok if i understand you correctly you want to edit the favorites menu to show i.e. some non-vanilla mod spells or weapons. To do that you must find the "favoritesmenu.cfg" text file which is located in: C:\***\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\Interface\favoritesmenu.cfg Now lets say you have a destruction spell called "meteor" that is not part of the vanilla spells. 1) favorite "Meteor" 2) alt+tab to your desktop (no need to quit Skyrim) 3) open the favoritesmenu.cfg with a text editor 4) find the destruction spells 5) under "keyword=" you will find a list of spell names, seperated by commas. simply add "meteor" to that list, and save the change 6) alt+tab back to Skyrim 7) open favorites menu VOILA! "Meteor" now shows up under "destruction"

Its been a while since you guys posted this, so maybe you've got some new insights, coz I have the same question. BTW, dont Duel Combat and Deadly Combat do more or less the same thing: - blocking costs stamina - damage is stamina dependant - stamina regens faster - weapons do more damage when they hit Or am I mistaken? And why did you combine the two?

Did that, (almost) all error messages are gone! thanks. I do get a warning: "an invalid plugin load order has been corrected" I get it repeatedly... And if Wrye Bash corrects my load order, should i use it instead of the BOSS.exe to create my load order? EDIT: still getting CTDs, just not so quickly...

So, ever since I installed the newest patch my game CTDs about 1 to max 2 minutes into the game, especially with lots of fighting NPCs (using Occupy Skyrim, Immersive Patrols, Warzones, Deadly Dragons). I'm also using the latest SKSE. I didnt have that problem before. Even removed Duel Combat and all my animation fixes. Mod list: I use MNN to download/install mods, BOSS to sort them, and recently Wrye Bash for bashed tags. Now Wrye Bash gives me loads of error messages, one of the scariest being "Update.esm is corrupted" (the newest update). HOWEVER, it keeps referring to TES4, which is Oblivion... Also, i have quite a few mods in the install tab that are highlighted red. Is Wrye Bash even set up right for Skyrim? What am I to make of all that? EDIT: I updated Wrye Bash and now I'm not getting any CTDs while many NPCs are fighting, HOWEVER I can't enter certain buildings anymore, like Vindrel Hall and Understone Keep in Markarth... I open the door and get an IMMEDIATE ctd... :(

I've got the EXACT same problem, need to talk to the gourmet, can't enter the keep. Also, I couldn't enter a part of the Labyrinthian, which is also Dwemer themed. I had assumed it may be dwemer texture or lighting related... my mods: EDIT: whats the "game cache" and how do you verify it? EDIT: couldnt "moveto player" Anton Virane to me (neither RefID 0001990A or BaseID 00013387 worked), so i progressed my queststages of "Recipe for Desaster" (DB08) via console so that Virane was questioned and killed. I can now proceed with the quest, but I STILL can't enter Understone Keep!!!

Hi! I finally got Beth's texture pack to work, however i sometimes get CTDs and FPS hits, probably due to the higher rez. My questions: 1) which MOD texture packs out there get me the same / better effect without such a strong performance hit 2) are "texture optimizers" recommendable (little programs that reduce texture sizes for faster loads while not loosing HD) 3) i found a thread recommending adding the HRTexturePack unter "Archive" in the skyrim.ini and DEACTIVATING the esps in NMM, then adding other texture mods. Tried that, didnt work for me (invisible heads). HOWEVER, if i did something wrong, would this improve performance?

Hi! You post is a bit old, hope you read this anyway ;) just wanted to check if i understood you correctly: 1) by changing the skyrim.ini as you recommend the bsa's get loaded BEFORE any other plugins/mods, so they are the primary files that get overridden by mods/plugins? 2) What is a good modder alternative / enhancement for the official HR Texture Pack from Bethesda? I sometimes get CTDs when moving to fast, guess its the larger textures... 3) there are TWO texture optimizers on Nexus that reduce texture sizes. would you recommend that? EDIT: just added your archive recommendation to the skyrim.ini and my characters and some NPCs heads VANISHED!

Hi! I seem to have messed up my game when i installed the HD Pack, it won't start but just freeze on a black screen (uninstalling HD didnt help either). SO, i guess i have to reinstall the whole game, but i really really want to continue with my current saves (they are NOT corrupted). this includes the 100+ mods. I couldn't find a comprehensive step-by-step for doing that anywhere, so if anybody can help me that would be MUCH appreciated!
